Timothée Chalamet supporting fans calling themselves by his name … pulling up to an impromptu look-alike contest in NYC — and, driving the crowd wild.
Here’s the deal … an unofficial Chalamet look-alike contest took place in Washington Square Park Sunday, with a massive crowd coming out to watch the spectacle.

The winner of the contest was supposed to make just $50 … but, it seems participants got a second reward too — a meeting with the “Dune: Part Two” star.
Watch the clip currently going viral on social media … one of the look-alike participants is standing in front of a white balance screen when Tim comes rolling in from the side, wearing a remarkably similar outfit to his counterpart.
It takes the crowd a second to put two and two together here — there are quite a few Chalamet Charlatans running around, after all — but, once they do there’s a lot of excited cheering and hugging.
Chalamet lives in New York City … so, unclear if he knew about the contest in advance or if he heard what was going down and ran over on a whim — but, either way, a fun moment for some of his biggest fans.
there are so many angles 😭 — here’s another video of timothée chalamet at the “timothée chalamet lookalike contest” in washington square park in NYC, today!

BTW … local outlets say cops ultimately had to break up this contest — with a police spokesperson saying at least one person was detained. Hopefully, Timothée made it out alright.
Even in a world of pure imagination, we doubt these fans expected to see the real Timothée Chalamet today!
